Salmon and Spicy Vegetables with Seagreens

Nutritionist Hannah Bailey from Wise Choice Nutrition shares her latest recipe using Seagreens. This is a rough guide with no exact quantities so adjust to feed the number of people you are cooking for. It also works really well cold the next day for lunch too.

Fresh or tinned salmon

3 new potatoes per person, cut in half

1 carrot per person

Broccoli

Runner beans

1 tbsp olive oil

2 spring onions (or red onion)

10 cherry tomatoes per person

Tomato puree (2tbsp per person )

1 garlic clove, crushed

1tsp harissa paste (more if you like it spicier)

1 tsp Seagreens

Ground black pepper

1tsp Smoked paprika

1.       If you are using fresh salmon, pre-heat the oven to 200^OC/ Gas Mark7, bake in a foil parcel for approximately 20 minutes.

2.       Meanwhile, cook the potatoes, carrots, broccoli and beans until soft, drain and in a separate pan, fry the onion in a little olive oil.

3.       Add the tomatoes and garlic to the onion and gently brown until the tomatoes begin to soften. Add the tomato puree and remaining ingredients. If the sauce seems a little dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water. It is not meant to be runny sauce rather more a coating for the vegetables.

4.       Cover the vegetables and add the salmon then serve.

125g Self-raising white flour
75g Wholemeal Spelt Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Seagreens Culinary Ingredient
50g Butter
100ml Sour cream
50ml Milk

Method

Mix together the sour cream and milk and add to the bowl. Bring the mix together into a dough. If the dough seems dry add another ½ tablespoon of milk to make a soft smooth dough that will leave the bowl clean. It's important not to overwork the dough or the scones will be heavy.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Roll it out evenly to about 3cm thick. Cut the dough using a round cutter (9cm for medium scones/ 6cm for small scones). You may need to re-roll the dough to make all your scones.
4. Place them on a floured baking tray, brush the tops with milk,(you could sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the scones) then put them in the oven for 12-15mins, or until the scones have risen and are a nice golden brown colour.

Featured Business of the Week: Artisan Bread Organic

Featured retailer: Artisan Bread Organic

Artisan Bread Organic (ABO) is run by Ingrid Eissfeldt. Based in Whitstable, Kent, ABO produce a wide range of specialists breads all containing Seagreens as a salt replacement. It is also used in their cakes. Customers can also buy jars of Seagreens in the bakery.

What types of bread does Artisan Bread Organic produce?

As the name suggests, the breads made in the bakery are artisan and therefore not your standard white or wholemeal loaf. To the foodies amongst us, this is a very exciting bakery which creates innovative products at very reasonable prices. Take for example, the Organic Pea Bread which is naturally gluten free, wheat free and baker’s yeast free bread. It has a sweet flavour from the peas which is infused with alpine herbs and reminds you of a good curry! The peas within the bread make it higher in protein than the standard white sliced loaf you might buy at a supermarket. The breads don’t have a long list of ingredients and unpronounceable chemicals added. ABO use Seagreens Culinary Ingredient in all their bread.

You can also buy breads made from quinoa, rye, spelt, soya and linseed. Not only can you buy loaves of bread, ABO also sell delicious packs of Glutini® which are ideal for beans on toast and make it a whole new experience. There is a range of pizza bases allowing you to create your own healthy, homemade pizzas. These are great for people with food allergies and intolerances as you can use ingredients which you know don’t affect you.

 

If you fancy having a go at baking some of the breads at home, ABO stocks a range of different flours and sell the Seagreens Culinary Ingredient which can be used as a salt replacement in the bread.  

ABO Buckwheat Glutini

ABO Organic Pea and Rice Flour

ABO Organic Spelt 

And for the sweet toothed among us?

Artisan Bread Organic also does a fantastic range of cakes. Again, Seagreens is added to all the cakes which boosts their nutritional profile and adds a depth of flavour not normally associated with sweet products. They have a range of Glutini®, some of which are sweetened using products such as date and others are less sweet as Cacao is used. You can also buy cake mixes, these do not contain Seagreens. There is also a sugar free cake available too for those who want to avoid sugar.
